Astronomers discover potential "water world" exoplanet nearby Earth that could support life

2022-08-27 4

Scientists announced this week the discovery of a nearby "super-Earth" that could potentially support life, calling it a "water world."

The team, led by the University of Montreal, used observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), as well as telescopes on the ground, to detect the exoplanet, which is described as potentially rocky like Earth, but larger. Named TOI-1452 b, it orbits a red dwarf star about 100 light years away from our planet, which scientists say is "fairly close."
